Google ohiowaterfowlzonesurvey once every 5 years they reset the zones in Ohio.When you take the survey your input actually counts on where and when you can hunt.I personally want the north south zone boundry moved back to I-70. There is also the possibilty of 3 zones that should be of interest to those who hunt Lake Erie and southeast Ohio. You only have until the end of March so get on it.

Mike - I did this a week or so ago and canceled your vote. Last few seasons have sucked in NZ with weather patterns and ends too early. Bringing that further south knocks out decent later season SZ areas. I'm afraid a 70 split will put too much pressure on fewer areas south of 70 unless you're willing to drive to the Ohio River.

I would also agree to that. An arbitrary line that's convenient for the state leaves a lot out of consideration. Selfishly, it pushes Capital City hunter traffic all one way or the other unless driving much further. And in Ohio - not much is worth a two hour drive each way.

I have no idea how it works other than 60 days a year. Might be better to go statewide Nov 15 - Jan 15 or Nov 1 - Jan 3 and have a Lake Erie zone. Include some dispensation for geese.

We didn't get a push of birds until much later in the season so I'm not sure how a NZ would have helped you last year except we all had ice.

Trust me...I AM looking for the benefits of a 70 split line...just haven't thought of one yet. Why do other states get more days? More ducks?

I live and hunt in the current south zone. I'm in Harrison County and in our area US30 is the cut off line for the zone. Last season it worked out pretty well for us in the south zone. We hunted in some cut corn fields near a local lake , which has a large hole that stays open for the birds to roost, and we absolutely wore the ducks out. These were not flooded fields, just cut, dry corn fields. We killed Mallards, black ducks, pintails and canadas. We literally had hundreds of ducks in the air above us.

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!! NICE TRY GUYS!!! We actually just stumbled upon this area by accident, called the owner and he was like "You want to hunt what?? Ducks and Geese? Have at it!!!". Most of the folks down here are after deer/turkey permission. We have a plan for this season to get exclusive access............I've already said too much...........
